We have bought just about all the tents in the outwell range. Yes its obsessive but fun. We didnt even get a trip last year ended up in a static cos my back went. Strangly I still trawl the camp sites on line for something new or different. Hope we get at least a few weekends this year. Im suffering withdrawal symptons.

THE FUN IS IN TENTS

Yes looking and purchasing new TENTS is addictive. My OH and i plus parents have had 6 tents in 2 years. All are still imaculate but we always convince ourselves we may need them one day. On lunch now so may look for more!!!!

If you want to see serious temptation have a look at this!

http://www.yeomansoutdoors.co.uk/products.asp?partno=536007

A Hartford XL with a free footprint and free carpet for £239.95.  I only bought our tent at the end of last season and we haven't even camped properly in it yet (we had a weekend's 'garden camping' to test it out) and I'm still sorely tempted by the Outwell!!!   I keep 'stealth' buying camping gear and storing it in the garage so OH won't notice.  I can't wait to use it all in anger in May.

This is something non-campers just don't understand, don't you think?

That`s the one our daughter (aged 12) wants us to get. We are having our THIRD faulty Outwell Nebraska XXL replaced by Yeomans and have decided not to replace it with another XXL. We have now decided to get a Vermont XL instead, as OH says it will be easier for me and him to pitch on our own. Our son (15 this month) will probably stop coming camping with us in a couple more years, so we want a tent we can put up without him and we think the Vermont XL is the one for us.
